The people of the Ft Hood area have a winner in RG3,Someone they can be proud of not only because of his power on the football field, but his power to influence the young people.It must have been an awesome honor to have his name placed beside Martin Luther King's. It looks good anyway.When I am ask by football fans who are from out of state,and once its known I live close to RG's Copperas Cove,Tx. 'Whats he like' I always answer, as far as I know, Everybody likes Robert. Young kids can learn from him.Keep up the attitude RG and you'll always be a winner.
